Residential real estate auctions continue to lead the industry, growing 46.6% between 2003-2007.
As more and more consumers turn to auctions to buy and sell real estate, traditional realtors are adding the auction method of marketing to their business practices. Despite a downturn in home sales, residential real estate auctions grew 5.3% in 2007.
In years past, Auctioneers and traditional real estate professionals have competed for business; however, in today’s housing market, real estate professionals are partnering with auction companies or expanding their business services to incorporate auctions as a viable option to buyers and sellers of real estate. Auctions expedite the process of selling real estate, minimize holding costs and sell the real and personal property at its market value.
